The guiding philosophy behind IK Multimedia is simple: that there's no replacement for analog sound quality. At the same time, there's also no denying the potential of digital. Clearly, a middle ground had to be found, and IK was started by a pair of engineers looking to do just that. The result? They succeeded, creating a line of hardware that combines digital capability with analog tone. This section, with its wide range of IK Multimedia recording gear, offers up plenty of examples of how that can make your recordings better than ever.

The focus here is on mobile setups, so if you like to capture on the go, IK recording equipment is the perfect choice. For instance, check out the iRig PRE Mic Pre for iOS Devices. This super-compact preamp makes it easy to integrate your favorite mic with any iOS device. For guitarists and bassists, there's the iRig Audio Interface Adapter for iPhone, iPod and iPad. With straightforward and functional interfaces like these, it's never been more accessible to record anywhere, anytime.

IK Multimedia's Stealth series has even more options to check out when you want to get connected with your instrument. One of those is the StealthPlug Guitar/Bass USB Audio Interface, which comes bundled with AmpliTube 2 Live software for Mac or PC. And if you want to get full physical control even when using virtual effects and amps, you'll also want to consider the IK Multimedia StealthPedal C S Mobile Guitar Interface and Controller. Everything in this unit is built into the pedal chassis, so it's as practical as it is powerful.

There are musicians out there who think that digital and analog must always be separate. If there's one company that's ready to prove them wrong, it's IK Multimedia. With its ability to blur the lines between the physical and virtual, their hardware is a valuable part of any musician's toolbox. And IK Multimedia recording gear is the perfect place to get started.
